Birth Deformities

Birth Deformities is one of the best bands I've heard in a long, long time. Fast, catchy, raw and pissed off but fun 80's style hardcore punk. Get this fucking shit now. Members of Cülo. Get this if you enjoy hardcore or punk at all. I've been wanting to post this for ages now but haven't gotten around to it for some reason. Demo of the year. YOU'RE DEFORMED.

The Men

The Men are a nasty noise punk/hardcore punk band from Brooklyn, NY. I'm in love with this band. Catchiest and coolest bass-driven hardcore songs with a noisy and dirty garage punk layer. Very original and on their later records they tend to experiment a lot with shoegaze and noise. Leave Home is, hands down, the record of the year. Dig in.

Leave Home

Suburbanite

We were all sad when Aerosols and Wasteland called it quits but the vocalist (Chris) is back, this time relocated to NYC, with new band Suburbanite. They play catchy, rough and pissed off old style hardcore. Definately one of the best releases of 2011.

If you want to buy this record, too fucking bad. It sold out immediately and I have yet to locate any sites where you can purchase it. You could try to buy it from some dickheads on ebay though.

Divorce Money

Noise Punk/Hardcore band from New York City, NY. Dirtiest, catchiest hardcore ever. On their demo they kind of sound like Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld or Pigeon Religion/Jesus Lizard if you may. Weird shit. The EP is a lot tighter and the vocals are gnarly as fuck. The song "Use Your Imagination" is some of the best fucking hardcore I have ever heard. Perfection.

Pulling Teeth - Funerary (+ rest of discography)

Pulling Teeth is a metallic hardcore band from Baltimore, Maryland. Those of you who don't know this band yet should truly be ashamed. You've been missing out badly. They are definately one of the best among the more well known hardcore bands to come out of the 00's. Reminds me a lot of Left For Dead with more metal to it.

This band keep progressing and I barely recognized them on the Delusions/Illusions album. On Funerary they keep progressing and I'd say they mix their earlier in the face sound with the newer melodic, atmospheric Sabbath sound. There are even a few songs with clean vocals which I have a bit of a hard time getting into. Otherwise this is great and I love the song Grudgeholder, especially, which was also featured on the split with Shin To Shin.

Here's their BRAND NEW album "Funerary" and everything else they released so far.

EAT. SLEEP. WORK. DIE.
